In the latest of his Studio Time series, composer Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg) talks about creating synth basslines for the Mad Max: Fury Road soundtrack.

He talks about some of the hardware synths that he uses for basslines, along with some software synth plugins. He also discusses his process for experimenting with different options and combining hardware and software to get the sound he wants.

Taking a bassline from “Brothers in Ams”, I route it to several hardware and software synths to showcase the difference in character each one (or a combination) creates.
